So what are fleas and how can we get rid of fleas?

Fleas are tiny parasites which will feed on a blood host whether it will be your pet or yourself.

Fleas are a reddish to brownish in colour with a flat body with no wings, they gain momentum by flicking themselves up or across with their three pairs of legs. Fleas have sclerites which is hard like plates across their body. To the naked eye this seems smooth but in fact the plates overlap each other. This makes killing fleas by hand once you catch it a little harder, you will need to squeeze the flea in a certain spot with your nails.
